Legendary director/actor/producer Sydney Pollack died of cancer today, in California. Always really liked his directing, but it was his under-rated acting that really wowed me. His character in Woody Allen's HUSBANDS AND WIVES was hysterical, and his character in Kubrick's EYES WIDE SHUT was just plain scary. Also the movie he directed about the architect Frank Gehry, SKETCHES OF FRANK GEHRY, really showed off his own personality and a different dimension as a film maker.
